Gravlax - literally "buried salmon" - is an old way of salting fresh fish in the Scandinavian countries. In ancient times, cut and salted fish were buried in the ground, thus keeping it fresh for a long time.
Now no one bury salmon in the ground, but the name remains. Gravlax is considered the number one product in Sweden and Finland and is sold in all shops and cafes. But the most delicious is, of course, homemade. There are only three essential ingredients: salt, sugar and dill. Everyone can add vodka, pepper and beet juice at their discretion.
